Using the same logic as the others who pegged themselves as a 9. That accurately sums up my love of the franchise/team. Wish I had the time to be a 10.

In a way, the time gap for me is a blessing of sorts. For east coast games, it's not so bad because they start at 1 am (midnight for the next couple of weeks). So if I have plans, it doesn't ever have to be an issue. I basically watch the games before going to sleep, and if they're really bad, I might pass out with the stream still open. I'm also just working on my thesis now, so I can set my schedule however the fuck I want. Still though, really really happy they don't go back West.

I gave my self a 10. I am a fun since day one. Im from Argentina and since 1995 every game night y follow the games, first with the gamecast media, reading the lines and now with the international broadcast. I insult, cry and scream with players like John Thomas, Popeye Jones, Tabak, Camby, Staudomire, Carter, tmac, bosh and others.

Lately we, the raptors fans, have to learn and live with a team how blurt out a lots a winnable games. Right know we have a team with no leader.

but nonetheless, here I am, every night encouraging my team, no one in this country understands my passion. until I have a Raptors tattoo!!!

This is probalby just pure coincidence, but used to see this dude a lot downtown, especially at Paramount theatres, where I must've seen him 3 or 4 times.

Have you ever had the opportunity/ do you ever plan to visit TO and take in a game?

your 11,652 posts in a raptors message board automatically give you a 5. then your previous experience as a mod on the board, bumps you up another 2. your unwavering love of bargnani, bumps you up another 1. then add your previously stated 2.

I'm about a 4; can't believe I'm a Raptors fan for about 10 years now, I think I was here sometime before fellow countryman Remon van de Hare got drafted by the Raptors (don't think are a lot who still know that btw). Because of the time difference I don't watch all games. If they're any good I'll watch em the next day, but with our ridiculously awkward offensive play I tend to let go of about 2/3 of the games I don't get to watch live and watch other teams instead.

same as reuben and isaacthompson, im only 19, so I can't say i've lived through the glory days, though I was at the Spurs game when VC hurt his knee, didnt know what was going on, but remembered the ACC being dead silent as he got up. I moved to Canada when I was 7, and i followed the team hard though the swirsk era. since devlin and the boneheaded moves by the team i slowed down a bit, and after that lockout bullshit i outright stopped following the NBA. This year, i picked it back up again, and im an avid fan. I love the team and i love scrolling through RR and reading wht you guys have to say. I'd say im a 7-8.

A key that opens many locks is a master key, but a lock that gets open by many keys is just a shitty lock

I had been reading for quite some time before joining. This started when I somehow started using the RR twitter account as my startingpoint for daily raptorsnews.

Come to think about it, I was reading this forum for at least a year before I decided to join, and even after I joined it took another few months for me to get into the groove of contributing to discussions!

I would like to point out how many 'die hards of the die hards' are new to RR.

I wonder how many fans just come to read the forums (and have been for years) rather than logging in and contributing to the discussions!

I find it impressive that during critical times of the season (around the draft, start of the season, around trade deadline) RR readership can easily pass 1500 at any given time, with over 500 viewing still viewing at any given time even in the post-trade deadline wasteland of another lottery-bound season... speaks volumes about the passion that exists among the Raptors' fanbase! It's also a testament to the quality of discussion that goes on here at RR (and no, there's no moderator bonus for spewing such sappiness, that's all me! lol).

An 8 - Still haven't seen a game live, but I watch every game, whether live or on the PVR and regularly follow Raptors columnists and fans on Twitter and in the news. The next step is a pilgrimage to TO for a game or heading to the west coast for a swing down there. Yay Seattle!

Im excited for the Seattle team as well! It means NBA basketball is ALOT closer to us Vancouver-ites

Im a 9 Rep the Raps all day my favorite team since they launched in the T.dot. I watch every game I can and closely follow all the goings on surrounding the team and my fav players on it lol, If I did catch every game I probably would be a 10 Im definitely not a 20 like say @MoRaptorsfan on Twitter that girl eat drinks and sleeps the team.
